I like coding shit in Roblox's Lua and messing around with the server-side physics. If Blockland had joints and server-side physics like Roblox does I'd buy it over this in a hot second. But at least Roblox is free.
I really wish you could host a Roblox place off your own machine instead of having to always rely on their servers.
[QUOTE=XD!;18027009]Blockland is much more optimized than roblox, that is why all the blocks can't have real physics, since blockland was optimized when the retail product was made, allowing for thousands of bricks(It a very high amount for a standard computer. I'll get some numbers if you want).[/QUOTE]
128000 bricks.
Oh god not roblox again. Im sick of it. Whats worse is the best items to get are sold a lot cheaper, but they say its specail, and they can only sell 1000 of them. So barely anyone gets to see them.

[QUOTE=Dr. Doctor;18009670]What. You do know there are 5 year olds out there making giant Churches and Sky Scrapers, and you cant spawn a single brick?[/QUOTE]
Free models. all those cool things made by newer or 'young' players, (havent played for long) just use free models, tons of some what amazing things. I left roblox mainly because of the Infected lua script by dued1 and dued2. (dued2 is his alt, almost no one noticed this. Wtf...) anyway what it does is it changes all the brick names to Infected, it makes text change to infected. so any floating text, like names of players, changes to Infected. it also puts a infected script everywhere, 'inside' bricks, inside other normal scripts destroying them, and even puts a script in lighting. I for one didnt know you got put a lua script in the skybox.
Everyone quickly learned not to use infected models, and that models that look amazing and most likely infected. however since half of roblox.com is full of 9 year olds or younger, lots of them didnt notice the script, and went ahead, saving thier shitty now infected models. They thought it was a gam, so they started finding big fun models, infecting them, then resaving.
omyfuckinggod people are dumb sometimes..

[QUOTE=Dr. Doctor;18009610]Really? I never knew, I never got into BL to much, since my brother wants me on ROBLOX all the time so he can show me the stuff he makes/plays.[/QUOTE]
Im sure sonner or later he will go on gmod and become one of us...¬_¬.
What's funny is, it's easy to use cheat engine to kill everybody by finding something in the memory browser.

I know all about free models. There are younger user that have, and do create great places, all models and scripted by themselves. I good example is the former are92, who was 6 when he made his first place.

It was a good post until i saw the part about him thinking it was deliberately put in.
I remember playing this actively 2 years ago.
Shit was fun because the only thing we really had to worry about was "Noobs".
The more and more the game grew, the more and more it started to turn into shit. The only thing that annoyed me was the obstacle courses, and back then, there weren't very much of those. Now they have all these tycoons and even MORE obstacle courses and other shit that made most of the cool people leave out of frustration.
The community didn't help either. At first it was mostly teens playing it but then kids started coming and brought stupid shit like "lol SHOOP TEH WOOP xDDDDDD" and pretty much just annoyed everyone. And then most of them don't even make the stuff they put in their maps, It's all shit someone else made and then that's all they really do. I mean sure some people edit the scripts in some of the objects but most objects don't aren't scripted. And sure the ability to use other people's models is there for a reason but a map made entirely out of someone lse's work just bothers me.
And then there's the builder's club bullshit. Back in 07 it was only given to people who won contests or did stuff in the community, so if you had it, you were one of the most badass people who played the game. Then they released it to the public, but you had to pay. The benefits of it were good, but the prices are high, When I saw that they added a lifetime option and saw the price tag, I just said "what the fuck, who would pay for that shit?" THEN they added Turbo Builder's club, and that was double the price of Builder's club and you get some more benefits and a recolored version of the hat normal builders club get. I wouldn't have really minded the offers if the prices weren't so fucking high.
The new hats they make are utter shit. I love the old selection of hats, They fit the style that roblox had, but these new hats look horrendous. What's worse is that they removed all the old hats from being sold, and some of those were actually good.
Lag also wasn't a big problem back in 2007, but now it seems that every time they update the game there's more and more lag. And it's not just in big places either, I've gone to some really small maps and suffered some horrible lag.
The game has gotten some pretty cool new features but all the other problems really turned me off from the game.
edit: Whoa whoa whoa, Are92 isn't six and isn't even around that age when he made his first place, He's like a teen right now.
Though I agree some people do make some cool places once in a while.

I agree, but when I went onto the game 2 years ago it was shit back then to.
It just shittier now. You should feel bad about playing it actively imo.
[QUOTE=Dr. Doctor;18009359] As I said, the game itself is awesome, but going into every server only to find a hoard of kids repeating "lul noob u suck u donts got teh hatzz" ruins the magic of it.[/QUOTE] haha. tell me about it! not to mention the comments section of every creation is filled with either "COM 2 MAI PLAIISSE!!" or "IF YA DOONt POSt DIS ON 43784 DIFFERINT HATzzzzZ DEN JOO DAI!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL" it gets really annoying. :P
I stopped playing it about a year ago. I check in every now and then but that's about it.

:eng101:
But yeah, Roblox used to be a good place with teens and a good community, but then the lag and all the retards spewing memes every three seconds came and it turned shit. And now, all the good stuff is builders club exclusive, and all the cool items are rubux.
Its not the same anymore.
BUT the dynamic and well-programmed building engine and awesome physics make me keep coming back. It's bittersweet, I guess.
I left this because they just want money now. Almost all the new hats and stuff is in Robux or whatever and the only GOOD way to get that is the Builders club shit.
It's shit. I've played it once, and it's shiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttt.
[QUOTE=Casn;18032370]It's shit. I've played it once, and it's shiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttt.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much.

So the things you check are updates and hats?

Even if those things DID work, what makes you think it would work by posting it here?
I check to see what the new games are like every so often but I don't bother much with Roblox. Some of the stuff is admittedly impressive, such as the Urban Warfare gamemode with believable sprinting, ironsights, smoke grenades and flash grenades, stuff like that.
But it's painful to try and play Roblox online most of the time, because everything feels so detached and fake. In most games, at least in games with low pings, you feel as though you're in one world with the other players and not a single PC exchanging data with another PC somewhere else on the internet.
